Applications with MNG Support

For those who simply wish to buy a commercial application or download a
zipfile full of executables and start looking at or making animations, the
pages below have pointers to a large number of applications that are known
to support MNG in one form or other, or (in a few rare cases) that are going
to support MNG in the near future. Some of the programs, particularly those
for Unix, are provided as source code and may require libmng and/or
zlib (see MNG-supporting Libraries and
Toolkits), but often even these have pre-built binaries for popular
systems somewhere nearby.

Note that there is a fair amount of overlap between the editors
and converters categories; editors that are capable of saving
in multiple formats can also be used to convert between image formats.
The same is true for some image viewers.

In addition, the following pages list some specialized MNG-supporting
applications:

Of the apps listed so far, many (though not most) appear to use the free
zlib library but independent (non-libmng) implementations of
the MNG code. Bugs have been noted where known, but don't take any of this
as gospel truth; new releases occur all the time, and many bugs in older
versions are fixed in later ones. Life is full of change and uncertainty.

(Big thanks to everyone who has provided Greg with pointers and
corrections to these pages!)
